[These comments refer to students taking COMP6023. Not COM1 students]
A number of students lifted large chucks of their essays from various websites. As it stands these students will get zero. For a number of these this means they will definitely fail this module overall.
A smaller number of students lifted bits from websites here and there. They will loose some marks and that could put them at risk of failing.
Other students did not cheat.
I am prepared to accept new essays from any student that wants to submit it by noon on Friday 28 November. The maximum marks these new late essays can earn is 35%. But this might make the difference between a pass and a fail for some students.
This is not a recommendation to disguise your cheating better. The threshold for lifted content in these new essays will be set very very low. I strongly recommend that you start with a pencil and a sheet of blank paper and work from there.
For the small number of students who did not get zero I will award the higher of the two scores should they choose to resubmit.
Students who have not submitted anything at all yet are free to submit now for a possible 35%. Students are also free to change topic.
Last chance. Use it wisely.
